I've got metrics in Graphite showing response time for various organizations. The list of organizations can change on the fly. I want panels in Grafana to appear for any origanization who's response time is over a certain threshold. Was thinking the Singlestat panels was the right panel to use. Question is how to make them appear dynamically? Is a scripted dashboard the right approach?
If a scripted dashboard is the correct solution, can anyone recommend a Grafana cloud/service provider that supports scripted dashboards? The current one I have been testing out does not support scripts. Note that I am not really tied to Graphite as the backend since this project is in proof of concept phase. Just need the backend to also be a service. Don't want to roll the backend myself. Thanks.
As far as I know, it is not possible right now.
We had a similar use case in my organisation, and here is what we did.
You can define a template variable for your organizations, and then use SingleStat panel with “Repeat Panel” on this variable, but that will display panels for all of your organizations. Filtering based on a criteria is a requested feature.
Alternatively, you can use the Table panel for your use case.
Choose Table panel
In “Metrics”, enter your metric organizations.*.response_time (or whatever more complicated you need, applyByNode can be handy for such cases)
In “Options”
“To Table Transform”: choose “Time Series aggregations”
“Columns”: Avg, or Current (depending on your needs)
“Coloring”: use thresholds to paint in red or something anything above your desired response-time threshold.
Sort the Table per the Number column.
Ta-da! Your organisations needing attention will be at the top of the table and highlighted.
In the lack of true filtering, this worked for us. Hope it will work for you too :)

Hello FullCalendar team,
I am looking to build a feature that would limit the type of events that could go into a specific timeslot.
For example, I would like to indicate to a front-desk end-user that only a certain type of appointment was allowed to be entered into the timeslot. Perhaps the timeslot only takes meeting types that are tagged "check-ins" and "follow-ups" arbitrarily set by some higher up admin.
What would be the best way to go about building this limitation and displaying it to the user? I saw that there is an overlap function I might be able to use along with background-events. The higher-up admin might be able to create background-events that if they overlap with another requested event then limits the type. THen it would be very clear that any certain color-coded event set by the higher-admin would indicate that only certain types could be added.
But am I missing a very obvious way to do this? I was hoping there might be an easier way to templatize the day for end-users. Appreciate the advice.
I have a problem with my Custom Reports in Google Analytics. I'm trying to compare periods but it seems impossible to use Absolute Change sort within Custom Reports. Instead, the same option is available in classic reports. Is absolute change sort option available for custom report? Thank you in advance for your help.
Edit: Unfortunately I can't attach any photo, but I will try to explain better. As you surely know in Google Analytics I can compare data with a previous period. Analytics allows the user to sort the compared data through several Sort Types. There are three Sort Types available: Default, Absolute Change and Weighted. Each one of these takes into account different algorithms to sort data. You can switch to a different sort type just by using the drop-down menu placed beside "Secondary Dimension", above the results table. So, I checked out that In Custom Reports the "Absolute Change" option is never made available: when I try to switch from Default to Absolute type, the entry "Absolute Change" is disabled, so I can't select it. It seems to be a trivial feature of Analytics, and I'm not sure whether it is a limitation of custom reports, or maybe if I configured something wrong.
The application insights APIs let you record custom events for user-defined purposes. They also let you record custom properties on those events.
The Application Insights chart control on the Azure Portal however, appears to have some annoying limitation.
Let's say we have two event names:
Login: A user logged in.
Work: The application started some expensive background job, which happens independently of any user action on various conditions.
Then I likely don't want those event types to be series in the same chart. In particular, I may want to do a grouping by user or something similar in case of Login, but that would make no sense for the Work type.
They really have nothing to do with each other and I'd like to have them in different charts.
I do, however, want them to be in the same chart control (the whole white rectangle thing that groups charts together and where you set the time scope and filters on).
The following missing features would each solve the problem:
If it was allowed to set a filter on individual charts rather than only the chart control as a whole.
If each event name would appear as a distinct metric to select.
I know there's also Analytics, but then I still don't have the new chart in the same old chart control.
Is there another option I overlooked?
There's no way to do this in any one specific metrics explorer window, like you said, filters apply to the whole window.
But you can do this by creating a dashboard, and pinning individual metrics explorer charts (or grids, or whatever) to that dashboard.
make a new dashboard, and name it something distinctive
create one of the charts you want with the right filters in a standard metrics explorer part.
pin that chart to the dashboard created in step 1.
repeat steps 2 and 3 to create each chart with its own settings
go to that dashboard, and resize / configure each chart the way you want it
I have successfully used kibana (4.3.1) to make a dashboard with several visualizations. Great! Now I would like to add some input controls to allow filtering. I know that you can manually enter filters in the query bar, for example 'myCol:[low TO high]' but this is problematic for a couple of reasons. First, the syntax is a little too advanced for casual users (although I could use the metadata visualization to document the syntax). Second, the query bar goes away when exporting the dashboard via iframe.
I have tried using the metric visualization to display a min and max values. Unfortunately, the metric visualization is read only.
I have tried a bar chart to allow range filtering but my users will need to select very specific ranges that result in selection areas of only a few pixels. This is error prone and not precise enough.
Any other ideas on how to create input controls for easy filtering? I was hoping find some sort of dial that is tied to a column to allow users an easy way to apply filters.
Thanks,
Nathan
Check working with filters section in the documentation. Selecting a filter changes dashboard URL and includes snippet like (filters:!((meta:(disabled:!t,index:'myIndex_*',key:MyTermToFilter,negate:!f,value:'MyValueToFilter'). Once you have all the filters you want your users to change in the URL, after they navigate to that URL they will be able to enable/disable them in the UI
For about a week, Google Analytics was erroneously reporting page views for a few request URIs, severely skewing my data. I have read that there is no way to remove data once it is reported. If this is the case, is there a way to simply hide this data from the view?
I have tried a number of things (such as creating global filters, view filters, etc.) to no avail. Using segments also doesn't work, because apparently you can only filter out visits/users (whereas my goal is to filter out page views associated with a specific page). At this point, I feel like I must be going about it the totally wrong way...
Below is a screenshot of the Behavior > Overview section. The page views I want to move are #1, #2, and #5.
Alex, unfortunately, there is nothing you can do about the historical data.
However, you can use simple filter to exclude pages you don't want to see (the filter field above the report table, not filters related to account/profiles) -- see the attached screen below.
Make sure you select exclude and then pick Page dimension. The easiest way would be to use regular expressions, like:
(a|b|c)
This one would remove any pages that contain either "a", or "b" or "c".
The expression would be probably a bit more complicated in your case and I suggest using tools like RegEx Hero (free, online). I am not sure if there is anything common for the pages you would like to remove from the reports, but regular expression can do quite a lot :).
One last thing -- be aware there is a slight difference in segments and (table) filters. If you use segments for page dimension, you would end up with ALL the pages that were seen during a visit, which includes the page you set in the segment. Might be a bit confusing, but see this article for detailed explanation.
